Question 1

What exactly does the Racio Initiative do, if I were to sum it up in one sentence?

Accepted Answer

We advocate that public decisions—from education to healthcare—be based on data and verifiable arguments, not on who shouts the loudest.

Question 2

How do I know it's worth my while to watch this and that it's not a waste of time?

Accepted Answer

If you’re interested in having issues in the public sphere addressed based on verifiable facts rather than impressions, you’ll find concrete outputs here (position statements, analyses), not just empty slogans—you can check for yourself whether they make sense.

Question 3

Who's actually behind this? Is it just students?

Accepted Answer

Essentially, yes—the founding group came from among high school and college students in Košice and Bratislava. But that doesn’t mean we’re amateurs: for every major project, we make sure to rely on reliable sources and, when necessary, consult with experts in the field.

Question 4

What exactly does the Science Section do, and why should I care?

Accepted Answer

It verifies facts and sources before anything is published under the initiative’s name. For you, this means that when you read something from us, you don’t have to verify it yourself first—we’ve already done it for you.

Question 5

How can I get involved if I'm not from Košice or Bratislava?

Accepted Answer

Physical presence isn't a requirement—much of the work (research, writing, design, IT) can be done from anywhere. Let us know what skills you have and how much time you can realistically commit, and we'll find where you can be most helpful.
